Sarens Committed to the Environment

Sarens ensures that all our operations and activities are
implemented with respect for the environment.

August 2017:
Sarens, the worldwide leader and reference in heavylifting and
transport, having one of the largest fleet of equipments, is
strongly committed towards the environment. Across 65 countries of
our operation, our activities not only comply with the needs and
requirements of the market but are also implemented with respect
for the environment. Sarens is committed to the prevention of
pollution and therefore restricts the production of waste and
emissions to a minimum; it takes measures to use energy and natural
raw materials sparingly, and investigates alternatives to the use
of hazardous substances.

All our employees worldwide work towards minimizing the effect
on the environment. Some of the green initiatives undertaken in our
offices are as below:

Green Initiatives in the HQ, Belgium

Sarens started a new waste management system from the September
2016 for the Belgian sites. Some cool and useful recycler
bins, named 'Tulip' were placed at different locations at the HQ
and the SHEQ team sent out regular communications informing and
encouraging the colleagues in the HQ to participate in the waste
management activities.

The 'Tulip' is a compact office bin, specially designed to make
you sort your waste in a proper manner. It was branded with our
Sarens' logo. Employees, visitors, and customers were able to
participate in Sarens' sustainable waste policy.

Initially the employees had a personal waste bin under their
desks, this was where they threw away all the waste. Every day the
cleaning staff would empty more than 200 personal waste bins and
put in a clean plastic bag. A time-consuming activity which more
importantly depicted that the waste was not sorted correctly.

In August 2016, all personal waste bins were removed, as
well as the cardboard boxes for waste paper. Instead, at several
locations the 'Tulips' (they follow the shape of the flower) were
put in place. From then on was where one could leave all of the
different types of waste. There is space for residual waste, paper,
PMD, empty coffee and water cups, and small batteries
(BEBAT).

In this way, the employees at the HQ were compliant with
environmental legislation, which prescribes such pre-sorting of
waste (VLAREM II). At the same time, the 'Tulips' are designed so
that a daily emptying is no longer needed. The waste is collected
in larger containers, which in turn was emptied at the centrally
located container park.

Employees are also encouraged to:

Use old paper as scratch paper as much as possible.

Use the porcelain mugs or start with a plastic cup and reuse it
all day long.

Your Sarens' water bottle replaces the plastic cup, or else use
a glass.

Green Initiatives in India

The SHEQ team in India undertakes green initiatives on a regular
basis. They send out mailers at frequent intervals informing the
employees to work towards a green and clean surroundings.

The India office celebrates World Environment Day each
year on 5th June to spread awareness
about the environment among employees and encourage them to
participate in the initiatives. We recently celebrated the World
Environment day in our main office in New Delhi as well as at
different sites and yards across the country. The day started with
flag hoisting and address from the senior management team, followed
by an environment quiz, poster making competition, and the prize
distribution. All the employees actively participated in the
competitions and contributed towards the celebrations.

Sarens employees in India are also working towards a target to
reduce their energy consumption by 5%. To accomplish this the
employees are encouraged to:

Switch off the lights and air-conditioner when leaving the
cabin or work area.

Ensure that the laptops and desktops are in hibernation mode
when not in use

Do not leave the microwave in ON
condition

If you see any electrical appliances running un-attended,
switch them off

Green Initiatives in
Canada

The team in Canada work towards safe environment through the
initiatives as mentioned below:

A bottle and can recycling program in partnership with Youth
Empowerment Support Services, a local organization that provides
support and resources for at-risk youth in Edmonton. This program
helps ensure that all of our bottles and cans are recycled and that
the organization receives funding from the deposit on the beverage
containers.

The offices are equipped with lights that automatically
shut-off after a period where there is no motion in the room. This
helps save power and ensures that we do not rely on people to turn
lights off.

We have switched from the use of bottled water with our water
coolers to avoid accumulation of plastic bottles which cannot be
recycled.

We are proud to state that our total strength of around 5000
workforce in 9 regions works towards a better environment. Most of
our business units in the world are ISO14000 certified and our SHEQ
team has been leading the initiatives to lower the effect on
environment.
